White Space Conflict
Through the prism of big data, psychometrics, advanced techniques of persuasion and micro-targeted surveillance, White Space Conflict contemplates Donald Trump's US Presidential election victory and a dystopian, 'big-brothery' future. The film's central voice is that of Alexander Nix, CEO of data mining and strategic communications firm Cambridge Analytica, notorious for its role in Trump's Electoral College victory. A broad range of images related to surveillance systems, from eye tracking to facial recognition, are juxtaposed with the observations of Mr. Nix, a blithe 21st century confidence man. Interspersed are additional comments from a range of others, including, in order: Steve Bannon, White House chief strategist for the Trump Administration and former executive of Breitbart News and former board member of Cambridge Analytica; Julian Assange, the computer programmer who founded Wikileaks in 2006; Jared Lanier, a pioneer in the field of virtual reality known for charting a humanistic approach to technology; Ginni Rometty, Chairman, President and CEO of IBM, a leader in the company's cloud platform and "cognitive solutions" endeavors; Sebastian Gorka, the Hungarian-born American military intelligence analyst, currently a member of the National Security Advisory staff and Deputy Assistant to President Trump; and Tristan Harris, the former Design Ethicist at Google who now leads Time Well Spent, a non-profit movement dedicated to aligning technology with our humanity.

Loved this movie, the premise, the build up and action. The action was believable, and the story is one that is still playing out in this country.
I watched this movie without knowing anything about it and wasn't expecting too much. Well I got a pleasant surprise. This movie is excellent!
It is truly epic in every word. This is probably one of the most ambitious movies ever made.
The best of the best! The more I watch it on repeat the better it gets, I'm sure many will disagree with me, I don't care, this film ticks all the boxes.
William Noland, you deserve a standing ovation. From an unbiased, stand-alone movie point of view, this film does an incredible job of being exciting from beginning to end
This is my favorite film of all times; William Noland at his very best!
I'm a long time Documentary fan and it's been awhile since I've seen a movie this good in this category in a long time.
When I realized who directed this one, I thought, "Oh, no - not William Noland!" but I was WRONG! "Mr William Noland, surprise me!" I'm not only surprised - I am also very much impressed!
Seriously a great movie! Great Documentary that can be watched over and over again! Always funny!
